chapter ten Issue Impact of climate change An emerging issue of concern for the cultural heritage sector is the impact of climate change on the management of the archaeological resource. This is a global issue and one that UNESCO is concerned about for its effects on World Heritage Sites. As the Antonine Wall is primarily an earthwork structure, and one which provides important ecosystems services, it is at significant risk from a variety of factors including, but not necessarily limited to: torrential rain and flooding; fluvial erosion; changes to wetting and drying cycles; changes to flora and fauna; and changes to farming practice which can have a subsequent effect on the Antonine Wall WHS. These factors can also compound the effects of visitor erosion or livestock issues such as poaching by cattle, potentially damaging fragile areas of the WHS. The growth of green/alternative energy approaches also has the potential to impact on the wider setting of the monument. Objective 5.5 Identify areas of the Site at risk from climate change and integrate monitoring, mitigation and adaptation measures Objective 5.6 Implement and monitor measures to improve sustainability and energy efficiency in relation to Site management Question nine Have we identified the key objectives to balancing wider environmental issues across the Antonine Wall WHS? aim six Increase research opportunities nationally and internationally and use this new research to underpin work to protect and promote the World Heritage Site Issue Developing a Research Strategy In 2010 the Research delivery group was established, with representatives from universities, museums, and Partner organisations. An initial meeting was held which set out a timetable and objectives for the development of a Research Strategy. Members of the group will identify gaps in existing knowledge, and hold a workshop to discuss potential research themes. The Research Strategy will adopt the format of that already developed for Hadrian’s Wall while also drawing on the strategies developed by the Scottish Archaeological Research Framework (SCARF). This will give the greatest value to the proposals and avoid duplication of effort whilst ensuring relevancy across the FREWHS. The Research Strategy is not intended to be prescriptive or to control the nature of research undertaken on the Antonine Wall WHS. Rather it will seek to encourage research by highlighting key areas of consensus in the archaeological community for future development, and prioritising areas that could maximise academic and public benefit. More widely, opportunities will be encouraged that seek to explore, and better understand, the effects of climate change on the WHS and the ecosystems services that the Antonine Wall provides. As it is an earthwork monument there is research that could be undertaken that would not only lead to a better understanding of the Antonine Wall, but also contribute substantially to effective management of the Site. Objective 6.1 A strategy for research on the Antonine Wall will be prepared. This will be taken forward in conjunction with all bodies undertaking research on the Antonine Wall in universities, museums, archaeological societies and commercial archaeological units Ditch at Callendar Park, Falkirk Objective 6.2 A programme for ongoing survey, fieldwork and analytical research will be developed, derived from the priorities identified in the Research Strategy 34
